A dot is filled in on a number line to indicate that a specific value is included in the set of solutions or the interval being represented. This typically occurs when the number is part of a closed interval, such as when denoting all numbers greater than or equal to a certain value. For example, if representing the range ( x \geq 3 ), the dot at 3 would be filled in to show that 3 is included in the range. In contrast, an open circle would be used for values not included in the interval.

Open dot at 4 and a line going to the left on the number line.
( ) is a<x<b, ( ] is a<x<=b, [ ) is a<=x<b, [ ] is a<=x<=b. If there is no [ or solid bracket then there isn't a filled in dot, meaning that that number is not included. There is only a filled in dot when there is a solid bracket.
An open dot on a number line indicates that the point it represents is not included in the set of values being considered. This typically signifies a strict inequality, such as "<" or ">", meaning that the number at that point is excluded from the solution. For example, if the inequality is x < 3, the open dot at 3 shows that 3 itself is not part of the solutions.
